Troubleshooting Your Internet Connection

This is done by turning off the power to the modem, and the device(s) you are using. Any other equipment behind the Kinetic router such as a 3rd party router, switch, firewall, etc. should be powered down. Leave all devices off for a full two minutes. After the full two minutes, restart the modem and only power back up other devices after the Kinetic router has re-synced.

My Kinetic modem has lights on it. What do they mean?
